Hundred dollars my foot.

One MAJOR plus about working at a scrapbook store is that I get to meet and create relationships with some of THE most talented women.
My dear friend Anna is one of these women.

I can spot an Anna-piece-of-work a mile away.

She is super talented, the sweetest mommy and the kindest woman I have ever met (no joke).

Last Friday I had the opportunity to go "play" at her house.

I had so much fun crafting, creating and chatting with her.

I loved it because I SO often crave that kind of time with my own sister (she lives in Maryland) and I very rarely get to "play creative" with her.

So being able to do that with Anna was a special treat.

THANKS ANNA!! ♥

Anna and I saw these Butterfly Fabric Necklaces on a blog that we both stalk.

We fell in love.

The lady that makes them sells them for over a HUNDRED dollars.

uh. No thank you.

We decided that we would try to create them ourselves.

Anna, I stole your pictures off your blog. :)

Here is my finished necklace. I am happy with how it turned out. I am going to change the ribbon that goes around my neck. I just grabbed some and tied it on there to snap a picture.

I know. It makes quite the statement, but I myself can make quite a statement..so maybe I can pull it off?

yay? nay?
